The client company are rotomolding manufacturers.
To broaden their product spectrum and attend to the prefabricated structure
requirements, they asked us to design the roof that it can be manufactured by
Rotomolding.
The roof is designed in 4 parts, made of 2 sets of mirror image patterns that
can be manufactured at once, as a closed shell.
Structure that can be assembled on site, mass manufactured by rotomolding as the
primary process, ideally, meant for weekend homes and residential plots where on
site construction is prohibited.
Supported on 2 columns and an underlying metal frame, the
rotomolded roof rests on a structure that sits on the two C- section WPC
columns.
This makes the structure, modular, light in weight, yet sturdy to stand the
heavy rains and storms alike.
The surface of a roof depicts a foliage pattern that is designed with various
slopes, such that rain water flows down through the C- sectioned columns, from
the lowest point of the rotomolded module.
The C sectioned columns are enclosed and sealed with translucent polymer surface
for the ater to be seen.
